Examples

• Generating Private-Key

  import certtool
  cert = certtool.generate_private_key(bits=1024, type=certtool.RSA_KEY)
  out = cert.export(format=certtool.FMT_PEM)
  print out
  open("privatekey.pem", "wb").write(out)

• Loading Private-Key

import certtool
key = certtool.load_private_key(filename="privatekey.pem", format=certtool.FMT_PEM)

• Generating Template

  import certtool
  t = certtool.Template()
  t.organization = "teste2"
  t.common_name = "teste"
  t.expiration_days = 900
  t.country = "br"
  t.email = "template@teste.teste"
  t.locality = "locality"
  t.state = "state or province"
  t.unit = "unit"

• Generating Self-Signed

import certtool
a = certtool.generate_private_key(bits=1024, type=certtool.RSA_KEY)
t = certtool.Template()
t.organization = "teste2"
t.common_name = "teste"
t.expiration_days = 900
s = certtool.generate_self_signed(privkey=a, template=t, dig=certtool.DIG_SHA1)
print "private key"
print a.export()
print "self-signed certificate"
print s.export()
